THANKS
{CHAPTER TWENTY ONE}
Sakura kept on pacing about in her room.
Her mind wasn't settled at all.
This was the first time she has slept in her home with a man, and she wasn't calm...what if something happened?
While she was thinking about that, the door to the bathroom had opened and Sasuke walked out.
Sakura had thought him how to use a shower.
*Nice* Was what had gone through his mind but that amazement died down seconds later.
Sakura heard the click of the door and turned "Listen don't you...!"
Sakura stopped in mid -sentence when she saw a wet man come out of the bathroom.
His hair was wet and his chest was exposed.
A towel tied on his waist.
Sakura gulped, she just realized how hot Sasuke was whenever he was wet.
She felt like being taken away from the world and for a moment she forgot what it was she wanted to tell him.
This was exactly why she was worried about him being here. Her hand went to the mark on her wrist.
She was feeling kind of warm too like she was the one who just had her bath, was it the mark doing this?
"What were you about to say?" Sasuke asked walking across her in the room
"I-uh-well I wanted to say that I would sleep on my bed and you on the couch" Sakura said
That was totally not what she wanted to say.
Sasuke turned his back on her and grinned playfully.
He put on the black shirt she bought for him and wore his pants on.
"You can stop blushing now" He said facing her
"I-...I wasn't!" She said and stomped out of the room muttering words about Sasuke being a huge asshole and whatnot.
Sakura went into the kitchen about to make for herself a cup of coffee when she heard a voice that made her jump.
"And where is this couch you speak of?"
Sakura turned making her stance into a karate style "Don't scare me like that!"
"What's there to be scared of?"
"Oh I don't , this is actually my first time with a man in my home" Sakura said sending her gaze to the floor, she stared at her feet for long suddenly finding it interesting.
"Hn"
Ignoring him she continued "And besides, you only share a home with someone you love right?"
There was a long silence in the room and Sakura wished she hadn't spoken.
*Me and my big mouth* she thought
"Um..sorry I didn't mean to..."
"I am with the person I love, problem is that she does not remember" Sasuke said
Sakura stood still at that.
A part of her wanted to say the same thing to him and just pull him into her arms and a part of her wanted to object.
When silence filled the room again, Sakura turned around and focused om the coffee she wanted to make, by the time she had turned, Sasuke was no longer in the kitchen.
She didn't even know when he has left.
She sighed, this was going to be a long night.
...
...
You are training in that?" Sasuke asked his eyes widening
"What, you don't expect me to dress in those traditional way your people dress do you? This is Konoha not that weird place of yours" Sakura said putting her hand on her waist.
Sasuke had told her that the earlier they started their training the better chances of Sakura gaining her powers back.
Sakura had said to meet in a park she knew wasn't operating anymore so they could have a little privacy.
Sasuke eyed Sakura dressing before moving to her face "Change it"
"No, what's wrong with it?''
"Its hardly suitable"
"Hey, I'm trying to learn about my lost power which i have no idea about not fight karate!"
"Hn"
"Don't Hn me mister!" Sakura said and immediately a smile crept up Sasuke face.
Did she say something?
"Alright fine, we practice like that"
Sakura rolled her eyes, she did have some articles of clothings to wear but she just didn't want to.
"Fine" I shrugged "So what are we learning?"
His eyes narrowed as if I said something I shouldn't have.
"Let your hair down" he said suddenly
"What?"
"Let your hair down"
"Why?"
He released and impatient sound and walked behind Sakura pulling the band that packed her pink her up letting it fall down.
"Take your shirt out of your skirt" he said
"What?!"
He sighed again and pulled the hem of her shirt out of her skirt.
She swatted his hand away and he playfully did same.
He stood up and faced her "This is how you train, you let everything loose and then concentrate " he pointed to the green grass "Now sit"
Deciding not to hesitate before he did it himself, she walked forward and sat on the green grass, folding her laps together.
"Alright first of, we are going to start with your natural element of healing, you were always good with that" Sasuke said standing above her.
"Huh?"
"Now,let's start"
He did some magic show with his hands and his sword appeared in it.
Sakura watched as he raised it up and then striked his hand with one slash.
The pain ran through Sakura suddenly and she stood up pointing her hand accusingly at him "Are you trying to kill me?!''
"Of course" he said like it meant no big deal.
Blood dripped from his hand but he didn't act hurt.
Sakura on the other hand was dancing in pain.
"Now focus on your energy!" he yelled through her rants "Imagine healing yourself"
Sakura stopped dancing and faced him "Are you insane? Focus what energy? My hand hurts here"
"So does mine" Sasuke said
"I wasn't the one who said you should stab yourself!"
"Hn"
Sakura mentally cursed him and sat down back on the grass.
"Now concentrate, forget the pain"
Sakura closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Focusing like she learnt in Yoga class.
"Concentrate" his voice said again
"Like Wi-fi?"
"What?''
"Well you know connection like Wi-fi"
"Whatever, just concentrate" Sasuke said.
She could pick out a hint of impatience in his voice. She heard the shuffling of the grass and groaned out
"Not helping here"
The noise stopped and Sakura focused again.
She imagined herself healing her hands and she could feel some kind of breeze blow through it.
She actually felt powerful. Her chest rose and fell slowly and she realized she liked the feeling she was getting.
She could feel the pain in her hand reduce little by little and she wondered if she was getting it already.
A knot formed in her stomach and her body muscle loosened.
For the first time in her life she actually alive.
it wasn't until she heard a light cussing did she stop her little yoga lessons.
She opened her eyes and saw Sasuke standing in front of her all red and sweaty.
He nodded for her to get up.
"What happened?"
"You happened" Sasuke said "You connected with nature way too much."
"Huh?"
"You were supposed to heal your hand only but somehow you were able to focus on the whole body"
"So I didn't get it?"
Sasuke raised his hand up showing her his now healed hand "You did"
Sakura grinned "So?"
"You still need more practice and besides you are not going to get rid of me that easily" Sasuke said smirking
Sakura gritted her teeth together, great she forgot he could read minds...just nice.
...
...
When they finally returned back to Sakura's apartment.
Sakura noticed that Sasuke's eyes hadn't left his bloody sword.
How he had carried that thing without people noticing was beyond her.
"Do you want me to remove the stain on your sword?"
He didn't say anything but handed it to her anyway.
She left the room leaving Sasuke alone.
Blood stains were on the edge of the sword and she remembered how he had stab himself.
For once she was actually worried about him.
Why would he do that?
She absently took a sponge from her bathtub and began sponging the edge of the sword.
Little by little the stains went of until it completely faded away.
She started rinsing it.
An image flashed through her mind and she accidentally cut her hand.
"Ow"
She put her hand under the running water.
Grimacing as the water turned pale red.
She felt a sudden air blow pass her and she felt his presence.
Ah! That was right, whatever happened to her happened him as well.
"What did you do?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...ow!" she stopped when the Uchiha grabbed her hand.
His orbsidan eyes blended into hers as he took her injured hand up raising it to his lips.
He traced the bloody finger on his lips.
Sakura grew red
WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL!
"Yes, you should be more careful"
Before she knew it,his lips were on hers.
His hands went under and he boosted her up.
Sakura would have called this sexual assualt in her home but she found herself liking it.
They broke their kiss, their breathing ragged.
Sasuke sharigan had activated on its own
"Uh, Sasuke?"
"Excuse me" he said and walked out leaving sakura in a dazed moment.
Sakura blinked. This kiss wasn't like the type they had shared at the palace, this was different.
It was like he wàs trying to tell her something.
And no matter how hard she tried to convince herself to forget about it she actually wanted more.
Was she falling in love with him?
